Lovely article here on our Sylla.

Its very early days for him, but whether he makes it or not, at least the kid appreciates his chance. 

Yeah seems a decent chap, I wish more players that turned up at Villa park had the same attitude.

Comes across in the interview as a decent level-headed person. Just the type you want at the club. In fact, despite the lack of quality, we have quite a few likeable players at the moment.

Yep, they might be shit, overpaid losers, but on the whole, they're a pretty likeable bunch of shit, overpaid losers.

On Reading v Villa - "The standard of the game was really high-level.” (Bloody hell, I'd hate to watch a game in the French 2nd division!).

Also, I'm on the email mailing list for Pushkar Indian Restaurant on Broad St as I've organised a couple of works dos there. The last one listed the latest "celebraties" to have dined there recently, and included Yacouba Sylla!!

We had our works do there the Christmas before last. We enjoyed it, but the owner of Pushkar didn't.

I read a very similar interview with Westwood after the Liverpool match.  They both seem so humble and appreciative of what they have.  Fantastic characteristics for a human being but I'm not sure it's necessarily what you want from your central midfielders.  I hope they're not too in awe and respectful of the opposition.

He was the worst player on the pitch yesterday according to The People which is a bit harsh.

I'd like to see him back actually, he'd be a decent squad player to have.

Surely not? He's done very well I think in his first couple of appearances. Solid, good on the ball, plenty of energy and a good attitude. What's not to like?

Especially when considering that Bennett was on the same pitch at the same time.

We barely saw the first of Makoun, but I imagine we've seen the last of him.
